The last time I used a travel agent, she messed up so many things including some doozies like spelling one of my kids’ names wrong on the airline ticket (for an international flight) and not registering our one piece of checked luggage per person so we had to pay double fees at check-in. And I had put everything in writing (via email) to ensure such things wouldn’t happen.
I wish travel agents were the easy solution, but you can’t really know the good ones from the bad ones until you’re on the trip and thus are at the point of no return.
